Background
Utopian Magazine was begun by Enri Mato and Jarl Ale de Basseville while they were collaborating at Ale de Basseville exhibition No Compromises in Paris. Beginning as a digital cover published on textures of materials such as gold, concrete, leather and copper, was promoted at Art Cube Gallery in Paris.

''“No compromises come from different steps. First I have been part of the movement No future during Punk revolution in the late 70′ during the 80′ which was an artistic political movement. It was based on the fact that we didn’t see no future and we were totally against the system, the hippie movement and all the shit of peace and love. With all the post problems of the war we were revolted and we wanted to say fuck off to all the hypocrisy.

The next step I don’t do any compromise with anyone and I want to say fuck off which is coming from the Punk movement too, I want to say fuck of to anyone who think they are because of their fucking big ego. But human beings don’t understand that they are not god. We just a piece of shit that today we think we are but tomorrow we are nothing. Especially the people who are managing the industry today they think they are untouchable and worst they think they are god but they don’t really see that they are nothing and that they can lose everything in an-instant. Human being is nothing, they thing they are the center of the world but they are nothing. We are saying No to this and we are not doing any compromises with anyone. We say fuck off to the system, to all the lies and to all the miserable and small people. Fuck their stupid little ego. Humanity has proved nothing, and they are so small in comparison to the universe.” – says Ale de Basseville

In a world that does not know its guidelines, and how to blend the cultures to create new visions… In a world of high consumption, high pollution of images and falsity, Utopian Magazine proposes to build a virtual city to create a network for Utopian citizens.

Utopian Green | No is More
Utopian Green launched in Mars 2017 with a dedicated editorial covering news, architecture and ecology. Its editor is Enri Mato. Utopian green is the manifest in architecture which was created by a group of architects who don’t believe in the architecture of today. Utopian green aims to bring together ecology and architecture by raising questions and proposing solutions and ideas for the future. Strongly believing that the system in which we are living today doesn’t provide a comprehensive system that includes all the elements in it. We believe that architecture is not only about aesthetics or form and function. All the forms have been used and reused and it has become a viscous circle of archistars and economically driven architecture. Today it is a matter of ecology.

We think that the duty of the architect today is much more complex. Being a discipline that obliges architects to have a multidisciplinary knowledge makes him a leader and gives him the big responsibility of coming up with visions for the society. It has always been like that if we see history from the ancient Greece with the Polis(city) to Le Corbusier, Bauhaus it is obvious the influence that movements of architects, artists have had. The big movements in the history have created a whole chain effects in the social, economic, artistic aspects of our world. Of course this movement have had their positive and negative effects, but in the end they have revolutionized the world. From the industrial revolution different problems have arisen. For the first time in the 60′ the question of ecology started to become an issue. The pollution, global warming, diminished resources in higher rates today is a red alarm for tomorrow. Many architects have been concerned by this fact and have tried to bring new ideas of how to merge architecture in an ecological system. Paolo Soleri came out with the concept of “Archaeology” (Architecture + Ecology), Buckminister Fuller started to study ecology with the system of geodesic domes, Francois Roche came with the research on New territories.

The aim today is to create new solutions in architecture that can revolutionize the idea of cities of today. It is important to take a step back and reflect on what is going on and at the same time to say stop and rethink, rebuild a new vision of the world. This Magazine it is a Manifest created to provoke, to question and to make people think and react towards ecology and its relation with architecture.
